HI all!
This is related to FS #5089, but a bit different:
If I add a file to the current playlist which contains accented characters in the path/filename part, it is not recognized but shown with (ERR) at the beginning.

This task depends upon

sorry, unable to reproduce. This is what I tried on my h340
- browse to a dir and start a cd without accents
- short-press navi to go to the browser
- long-press navi on an accented file and select playlist->insert
- back to wps
- long-press navi and view playlist (everything ok)

the file and path had accented and other weird letters - it was a Sigur Rós song ;)

Hi Peter!
You are right, it is non-trivial to repeat it.
When I create a dynamic playlist by entering a directory and selecting one song, ie creating a playlist of all songs in this directory, and THEN selecting a song with accents in it, then it works.
But when I load a playlist .m3u, ie in latin1 encoding, and then select a song with accented chars in it, it does not work.
Can you reproduce this?
Of course, it could also be that my own builds have some bug, but the patches do not touch this stuff.
Bye Norbert

Confirmed with the latest H340 build. But to be honest, it seems to be a problem with playlists in latin1 encoding which I have created long before the m3u8/m3u distinction. If I load a m3u8 then there are no problems at all.

It might not matter, but I just wanted to add that I'm experiencing the same problem on my H120. My default codepage is set to latin1. I can then load any playlist (with or without songs with accents) -- all the songs in the playlist will play fine. But as Norbert said, anytime I use the file browser to enqueue a new song with accents into the playlist, that song is not played (skipped over) and it has (ERR) next to it in the playlist.

I too can confirm this bug on my H140 (Build 12732-070312). Regular directory playlists with accented characters play fine but songs inserted/queued into playlists loaded from (in my case) the /Playlists directory don't play and show (ERR) when viewing the playlist. I wondered why my Icelandic songs weren't playing!
Note that it seems to be where there is an accented char *anywhere* in the path/filename.
